Bobbythegangster had breathing problems when making his debut over regulation fences last month but had no problems landing a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last week. Call Vinnie has been in very good form over hurdles and would have probably have won at Gowran in September but for a last flight fall. Sizing Scorpion landed a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse just over a year ago and though disappointing subsequently looks much more of a chasing type. Stay With It should be better for his chasing debut at Downpatrick and Thats Mypresenting has won over hurdles here. Vicky's Charm started out over fences with a decent effort at Clonmel then had little chance in a Grade 3 on a return visit. She should go well but in an open contest a chance is taken with KALA BRANDY, a winning bumper and hurdler who has the benefit of a run over fences at Thurles.
